If the client has gross motor control, could he also hold a stick with a
rubber finger-stall on the end? This will turn most pages or sheets of
paper as bank clerks have known for years. If he cannot hold a stick could
one be placed on a head mounted wand? Not necessarily stylish bed-time wear
but functional nevertheless.

Dear all
Has anyone come up with a simple strategy for page turning? My client has
peripheral nerve damage & thus no finger control. Gross arm movements are
fine. Automatic page turners have been rejected because of their size - he
just wants to read a paperback when he goes to bed! I'm sure we can come up
with a book holder, but its picking up a page which is difficult.
